#8 profiling tests

[Bradley T. Hughes]

From the 18.Mar devel meeting:

Extended profiling needs to be done on blackbox after
the STL conversion. The old LinkedList was one of
the worst performing lists, but now that it is gone,
other places could use profiling and speed ups as
well.

NOTE: I propose *extended* profiling as well, meaning
running a profiled blackbox normally for several
days, instead of profiling for 5 minutes. Doing this
should provide better information, like the
difference between something that actually is slow
and something that is fast but called many many
times.

We should use both forms of profiling. Because blackbox is entirely event driven it is important to ensure
each event takes as little time as possible without going overboard.

Extended profiling is handy to see that we for instance make to many list iterations or duplicate work.
